BACKGROUND Central serous chorioretinopathy is a condition typically affecting young adults between 25 and 50 years of age. It is predominating in type A personality trait men. Central serous chorioretinopathy is defined clinically as a detachment of the sensory retina that is commonly unilateral but can also be bilateral. Laser photocoagulation has been used widely with central serous choriore...

BACKGROUND Exogenous and endogenous steroids have been implicated in the pathogenesis of central serous choroioretinopathy in the literature. Central serous choroioretinopathy presents as sudden reduction in visual acuity. CASE PRESENTATION Despite the fact that steroid injections are so commonly used in the Orthopaedics there is no information regarding central serous chorioretinopathy in Or...

purpose: to present a case of bilateral idiopathic central serous chorioretinopthy (icsc) complicated by bullous serous retinal detachment (rd). case report: a 26-year old female suffered from acute loss of vision in the both eyes. best spectacle-corrected visual acuity was 1/10 ou. the examination of anterior segment was unremarkable and a mild vitreous reaction was noted. dilated fundus exami...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the treatment of Helicobacter pylori gastric infection and changes in best-corrected visual acuity and macular detachment in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy. METHODS Seventeen patients diagnosed with central serous chorioretinopathy were examined for gastric infection with Helicobacter pylor...

INTRODUCTION Central serous chorioretinopathy is characterized by serous neurosensory detachment of the macula and it usually resolves spontaneously with good visual prognosis. In some patients, however, the serous retinal detachment might be very extensive and can result in bullous exudative retinal detachment. We evaluated the use of half-dose verteporfin photodynamic therapy for the treatmen...

PURPOSE To report a case of central serous chorioretinopathy after solar eclipse viewing. CASE REPORT A middle-age man developed a sudden-onset unilateral scotoma after viewing a partial solar eclipse in Hong Kong. Fundus examination, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography showed features compatible with central serous chorioretinopathy. The patient was managed conservative...

Central serous chorioretinopathy developed in 2 cases of retrobulbar neuritis during systemic treatment with corticosteroids. Fluorescein angiography confirmed leakage surrounded by central serous detachment of the retina. In one case the central serous chorioretinopathy recurred 3 times during 3 separate courses of treatment. Spontaneous recovery accompanied a reduction in steroid treatment to...

Objectives The operating room is a place of surgical intervention with its accompanying bodily and cognitive strain on the performers. Stress in the operating room may lead to the onset of central serous chorioretinopathy as reported hereby in a retina surgeon and is labeled as operating room central serous chorioretinopathy. Methods The same operator performed the optical coherence tomograph...
